How did the British government respond when the colonist in Boston became rebellious to their policies?

In response to the rebellious actions of the Boston colonists, particularly following the Boston Tea Party in 1773, the British government enacted the Coercive Acts (also known as the Intolerable Acts) in 1774. These laws aimed to punish Massachusetts by closing Boston Harbor, altering the Massachusetts charter, and allowing for the quartering of troops in civilian homes. The British hoped to restore order and assert control, but these measures further inflamed tensions and united the colonies against British rule, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War.
